Customers are satisfied with the camera's excellent picture quality, ease of use, and wide field of view, frequently praising the 180-degree viewing angle and effective night vision. However, some users experienced difficulties with Wi-Fi connectivity and SD card functionality. The setup process was generally considered straightforward, though some users reported challenges.
The quality the camera has is great..I have a few issues with the camera holding the WiFi connection while unplugged, but when it is nothing but great quality..There are a few issues with the Ddlink app where I could view the camera remotely sometimes..I will check with technical support to determine if the camera I have needs to be replaced for a different one...

I wanted a home camera that was easy to set up, had good image quality, a decent app to view remotely, and non subscription/cloud based. At first I was going to go with a model that did the swivel/tilt thing, but when I saw this camera with the 180 degree field of view I changed my mind. Setup- couldn't be any easier! Plugged the camera in, downloaded the app on my phone, scanned the QR code in the box, and within seconds I was looking at a live feed of my kitchen. Awesome!!! Video quality- its fantastic! I leave it on 720 vs 1080 simply because I cant tell the difference viewing on my phone and the file sizes are smaller. Even the night vision is great. No monthly charges!!! Due to the available Micro SD card slot you are not roped into a monthly fee. I did have to call into Dlink service to get my sdcard setup. I'm not sure why other reviewers would complain, but my call was answered very promptly, and Marvin (badge AR004612) was very polite, easy to understand, and within a minute or so fixed my problem which turned out to be user error. With the 180 degree field of view the pan/tilt is totally unnecessary for my use. It is great. Also, the built in mic and speaker work well. I've used it to speak to my kids instead of calling a couple of times. All in all I have to give it five stars!

I got this camera for keeping an eye on my parents, they are older and at risk for falling and other issues, this camera has already paid for itself ten times over! Not only does it give you a sense of security, it also gives my parents a peace of mind known that they are not alone and are being watched, unfortunately my father has fallen twice in the time I bought this camera, it allowed me to see him on the floor and I was able to race home to help him up, if it wasn't for the camera who knows how long he would have been laying there. The picture is not perfect but more than good enough, I actually leave it in Night Vision mode and the picture is great, also the microphone is impressively good. You are able to rotate the camera via your smart phone or computer, it's a little slow but over all I have no complaints. Well worth the money, I went out and bought 2 more for the rest of the house, the smart phone app is very easy to use, set up was a little bit of a pain, I'd say 1 hour but again, not bad. Honestly the best thing I have bought in years and I buy a lot.
